XT cylinder head - exhaust flanges corroded in..
Hi..can anyone help me with my problem please?
I have an '03 XT which I've stripped to rebuild as my next travel bike.. I have the engine out but the exhaust flanges have corroded in and snapped off the rest of the headers as I removed them.
They are properly corroded in and the extreme heat has left then in a sorry state...
Any ideas how to get them out? I don't want heat them up too much as I fear warping the whole alloy head..I've tried using cutting discs on a dremmel, grinders, drifts... but no joy and it's starting to look messy
Short of setting the head up on a mill and I'm stuck for ideas.. any help gratefully received.
Failing that.. does anyone know of a 4PT head with or without valves and camshaft going for sale? Am I right in thinking any head from 2KF is a match??
Thanks.
